Norwegian newspaper Sunnhordland Trykkeri, located in the
town of Leirvik on the island of Stord
on the Norwegian west coast, has contracted with DCOS for an extensive press
addition and upgrade project. Sunnhordland Trykkeri is a privately owned
newspaper and printshop and one of the few in Scandinavia
that is independent from larger groups. The closing of printshops in the
surrounding area of Stord has enabled Sunnhordland Trykkeri to attract more
contract work.
DCOS will install three Goss Community 4-high
towers and a Tensor H50 folder to the existing Goss Community/Global press in a
multi-phase installation, while maintaining daily production at the facility.
DCOS will perform a complete electrical
retrofit, replacing existing drives and controls with new drives and controls,
a new control console, and converting the shafted drive system to a group
shaftless drive configuration of 1-motor per 2-4 High towers. Other DCOS
upgrades include adding remote inking and register motors to all current manual
4-high towers.
“Our acquisition of Tensor now allows us to be
heavily involved in the mechanical aspects of a project, like the removal and
reinstallation of equipment, adding remote inking, along with the traditional DCOS
capabilities such as drive, controls, and automatic press registration and
density control equipment upgrades,” said Mattias Andersson, managing director
of DCOS.
DCOS will complete the project in April 2019.
